This podcast is a combination of two messages I shared at Rock and Refuge Church regarding homosexuality. I chose to combine them into one for this podcast because the messages are designed to go together so if you only listen to one of them you get an incomplete picture.

The world has a lot to say about homosexuality. The church, not so much these days. That is why I felt so strongly that these messages needed to be shared. My hope is that all who listen will see that I have done my best to communicate with love, respect, grace, and truth.

This is week one of a three week series titled PG-13. In this series we dive into difficult topics into which the church all too often avoids speaking. This first message looks at God's original design for sex and how that relates to our lives today. It also gives helpful advice for how to overcome lust and other unhealthy sexual practices and move to a place of sexual purity.

Speakers: Pastor Dan Latta, Matthew & Karli Von Herbulis.

In this message we get a chance to hear about the amazing work that Matthew and Karli Von Herbulis are doing on the mission field in Rwanda and beyond.

Matthew is the director of Sowers of Hope, a ministry that empowers farmers in Rwanda to embrace their God given call to their profession of working the land and showing the value of their work and how it relates to the gospel of Jesus. His ministry has led many people to a relationship with Jesus and it has spread into several other countries.

Karli is the Director of Soul Care and Wellness for New International. Her work involves helping over 230 missionary affiliates working in 60+ countries. Missionary burnout is a real thing as families face all kinds of unique challenges when they enter the mission field. Karli helps to provide resources and care for missionaries so that they are able to stay on the mission field and continue their work of growing God's kingdom.

Most Christians are familiar with the giving of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost but did you know there are other significances to this special day. Long before the Holy Spirit descended on those early followers of Jesus, the Jewish people celebrated this holiday (also called "the feast of weeks"). In this message we take a look at three significant things celebrated at Pentecost and then we take a closer look at how some of the more obscure Old Testament laws are very much still relevant to us today.

Message three in our series "Do What Jesus Did". This mini series is a part of our year long dive into the book- Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer. In this message we take a closer look at what the gospel is and how we can best communicate it to others.

Speaker: Pastor Dan Latta

This is the first message in our five week series, Do What Jesus Did. In this message we explore the Holy Spirit: Who is is, where He lives, and how we tap into His power in order to live transformed lives.

Speaker: Pastor Dan Latta

This message is an overview of the first 8 weeks we have spent going through the book Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer. This review allows those that are new to R&R church to get up to speed on what we have covered so far and it also provides a reminder for our regular attenders of what we have been committing to each week. Each topic discussed in this message can be further explored by listening to the corresponding sermon from earlier this year.

Speaker: Pastor Dan Latta

In this message we take a look at "The Messianic Secret" and how Jesus, upon His entry into Jerusalem, was finally boldly proclaiming to the masses that He was the promised Messiah. We then look at how we can take the crowd's attitude of praise and apply it to our own lives this week.
